It seems an all true reality that no matter how tough we think our lives are, someone is facing challenges worse than our own. How about simply having enough food to eat? Almost 1 in 5 children in America live in households that find it difficult to bring food to the table on a regular basis. In 2012, the poverty rate in 2012 for children under age 18 was 21.8 percent by the United States Census Bureau. The figures are sobering.
Tastefully Simple has partnered with Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® campaign. Share Our Strength is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to end childhood hunger in America. With each sale of a box of Citrus Sugar Cookie Mix, Tastefully Simple donates $1 to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® campaign. Tastefully Simple has pledged a minimum guaranteed donation of $150,000 to this organization. $1 donation can help provide a child with about 10 meals*!
Tastefully Simple believes in giving with gratitude and nurturing the community is one of its core values. They have partnered with Share Our Strength since 2009 and have donated over $1 million to the No Kid Hungry campaign.
Tastefully Simple Citrus Sugar Cookie Mix is prepared with the addition of just a 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter and 1 egg. Each box (18.5 oz) makes approximately 2 dozen cookies. They are crunchy around the edges with a soft center and have a refreshing hint of citrus. Citrus Sugar Cookie Mix retails for $7.99 per box and is only available through March 8, 2014.
